Florida State defensive end Josh Sweat only stayed at FSU for three years, but he made an impact from the beginning.

Sweat arrived at the combine yesterday -- as one of nine former FSU players invited to the NFL combine -- and will measure in today. He will take part in on-field drills on Sunday.

Defensive end Josh Sweat

Sweat arrived at FSU from Oscar Smith High in Chesapeake, VA with high expectations after being the No. 1 overall player in the country before a major knee injury ended his high school career. He finished as the No. 8 overall player in the country during the 2015 recruiting cycle.

No one expected Sweat to make an impact at FSU as a freshman after the injury he suffered, but he found his way on to the field immediately and started nine games in 2015.

Sweat suffered a setback as a sophomore tearing his meniscus, but he only missed one game making 10 starts and 12 appearances. He really seemed to come on over the final three games of the season with six of his nine sacks.

He started the first 12 games of his junior season in 2017 before sitting out the bowl game. He finished the year with 56 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, and six sacks.

Sweat didn't live up to his expectations at FSU --mostly due to the impact the injuries had on his game -- but he was still a very good player for the Seminoles. He finished his career with 138 tackles, 24 tackles for loss, and 16 sacks

"Sweat has the length, frame and athletic qualities to fit right in as a 3-4 SAM or rush linebacker, but he needs to go to school with a position coach or a talented veteran to help unlock his pass rush potential. Sweat's initial quickness and issues with contact balance could hinder his ability to play with his hand down. He has the ability to become a decent NFL starter but there is a wide disparity between his ceiling and floor thanks to concerns surrounding the current and future health of his knee."
